biblio
Prefix for books
Biblio is a combining form meaning book, appearing in compounds: bibliography (a list of books or sources), bibliophile (a book lover), bibliotherapy (using reading as treatment).
It occasionally stands alone as informal shorthand for bibliography or bibliophile: She's a total biblio—her apartment is wall-to-wall shelves.
